We have just returned from a 4 night stay in Venice at this hotel and can thoroughly recommend it for people who need a good nights sleep after a hectic day of sightseeing!. Our room was clean and comfortable, the linen fresh every day and joy of joys for a hotel in Italy - tea and coffee making facilities. The... more

This is an ideal spot to stay if you want to be able to escape from the crowds and tourism of the popular areas of Venice. The hotel is located in one of the only green areas on the island, and is a very short walk from the Sant'Elena vaporetto stop. It is an easy walk to walk to St.... more

Mixed thoughts about this hotel. Booked a deluxe room through the hotels web site and went with high expectations having looked at the photos on the web site. However was very disappointed to be given what must have been the smallest room in the hotel - not even a bath but only a shower! Air con was also a problem... more

We loved our stay in Sant`Elena Hotel in Venice during Carnival in February. The hotel is located in a very quiet neighborhood and near to the vaporetto stop. The location is very romantic because the streets are almost empty and you think that Venice is all yours. We booked at the Best Western website and payed in well advance. Everything... more

If there is one word that we can use to describe this hotel then it is "functional". Our room was clean, well kept and certainly met our expectation. It was also good to see the inclusion of tea/coffee making facilities ... which is uncommon in our experience of European hotels. The staff themselves were polite and helpful ... though lacked... more

Travelling with my wife and mother in law, we stayed at the Sant 'Elena from 07/02/08 - 11/02/08 in rooms 214 & 216. All in all we were extremely pleased with hotel. Positives: the rooms were both very comfortable, spacious and well appointed, with pleasant views over the gardens (odd numbered rooms did not appear to have garden views). The... more

My wife and I have just returned from 4 nights at the Sant Elena and weren't disappointed. It is a lovely, clean hotel with great service. The location was convenient and quiet and the room was spacious and modern. Not so good was the breakfast which was very ordinary and the lack of a proper bar with comfy chairs -... more

This is a fantastic hotel - our room was really spacious and the staff where very helpful. We found the best way to get from the airport was to get the waterbus to Lido and then change at Lido to public waterbus line 1 - Sant Elena is the first stop and the hotel is literally a minutes walk from... more

Not what it used to be! We started staying at St. Elena in 2003 when it first opened and was run by private people. At that time it was a wonderful and friendly place to stay. Then it got sold to Best Western. We have been back every year and unfortunately it has changed a lot. Unfriendly staff, dismal breakfast... more
